The more I read about Tevin Coleman for the Falcons, I more I like it.

 

[Syrinx]

Can't find what the Bucs traded for #60. Anybody know?

 

[Kave_Man]

DUKE!!!

 

[Sviatoslav]

Why would someone actually want their team to waste a draft pick on Petty?

 

[darkside31337]

Really hope its anyone but Petty for the Jets now. If they take him then bleh whatever.

 

[Link]

What do you guys not like about Petty? I think he has higher upside than Hundley.

 

[UberTag]

Yep. Just gotta get past the Bills now.

Bills GM Doug Whaley made a special trip to visit Petty three days ago.
So make that two visits.

bucs gave up 61 and 128 for 65 and 109 to the colts

 

[NihonTiger90]

Lions traded #88 and the 5th rounder they got from the Denver trade yesterday to move up to #80.

 

[BlackGhost]

DUKE!!!

DUKE?! DUKE!

Lets just toss all our 4ths at wrs

 

[Kusagari]

lol if the Bills draft Petty.

Didn't learn from EJ apparently.

 

[Futurevoid]

Harold's a nice pick for the Niners.

 

[NihonTiger90]

So let's see what Mayhew wanted so much ...

Spoiler

Better not be a fucking WR.

 

[SliceSabre]

Cleveland actually having a solid draft, I'm so god damn proud of them ;___;

 

[Doorman]

Lions traded #88 and the 5th rounder they got from the Denver trade yesterday to move up to #80.

I guess giving up one of our two fifth-rounders isn't the worst thing in the world. Makes me really curious of who they seem to think so highly of at this spot, though.

fake edit: Hm, cornerback...and from Stanford? I don't know a damn thing about him but man it sure seems like we're trying to put together an all-academic team this year.

 

[NihonTiger90]

... who in the fuck is Alex Carter

 

[Sviatoslav]

I'm slowly coming to the realization that Darren McFadden will be our starting RB.

 

[Link]

Ok, here we go. Jets have their pick at QB. Will they take one?

 

[BlackGhost]

I'm slowly coming to the realization that Darren McFadden will be our starting RB.

Some reason this made me Lol

 

[Godslay]

Have to keep drafting QBs till you hit.

 

[Farooq]

Don't forget about Ryan Willaims. It is not all doom and gloom.

 

[Officerrob]

For a couple games before he gets injured

 

[bigosc2k]

That last niner pick makes no sense.

 

[NihonTiger90]

OK, so Carter either replaces Ihedigbo at safety if he sits out, or hopefully Mathis at CB.

 

[BlackGhost]

Wish we had another round today.
Fuck u NFL

 

[Sviatoslav]

Don't forget about Ryan Willaims. It is not all doom and gloom.

Has he learned to pass protect? Heard it's by far his biggest weakness.

 

[PhoenixDark]

... who in the fuck is Alex Carter

Stanford CB. Good size but the Lions bloggers I follow seem rather "meh" to "alright" on him. We'll see. I assumed they were targeting DT, with Davis and Bennett still on the board.

Ultimately we need someone to replace Mathis and I'm assuming that's the goal here. Still...I'd expect Mathis to start this year. Whereas I could see Bennett or Davis starting at DT this year for us.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

niners draft an OLB

why is this happening

 

[darkside31337]

well okay fine

 

[chadskin]

A LB? Welp.

 

[Link]

So no QB, but the Jets get an edge rusher. Don't know anything about this kid. Anyone care to chime in here?

 

[Syrinx]

thx

eallenjets: Jets get an OLB in Lorenzo Mauldin. Over the past 3 seasons, Louisville product totaled 20.5 sacks and 31.5 TFL for the Cards.

 

[shadyspace]

Christ, how many defensive players do we need.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Niners are running a base dime this year

 

[h3ro]

Christ, how many defensive players do we need.

draft like a jet.

rex should be proud.

Definitely seems like more of a "for the future" than necessarily needing an immediate starter, but the thought of him transferring to safety does intrigue me a little bit. Ihedigbo was good last year, but aging, and I could see this being a little bit of a leverage play given that he's been holding out for contract extension talks. And if he doesn't move to safety, it never seems to hurt for us to have more CB depth. I'm not wowed by the pick, but I'm ok with it.

Thanks. I'll have to look into him some more.

We still needed speed on the edge.

Wait a minute. We resigned Mathis??? Seriously

 

[Syrinx]

You really shouldn't be taking a QB at this point solely because you need one. If you see a potential franchise QB, do it; otherwise, don't waste your picks on guys you're not committed to.

Likewise. DT is the last big hole that needs filling.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Yup. Not a big fan of that, but on the bright side we get Tulluch back and our nickel CBs will be healthy. That should help Mathis; he played quite well last year but he's 35...

 

[Enron]

pls Dallas pls Ajayi

I'm not a fan of drafting 2nd round and lower QBs. the vast majority of high 1st round QBs bust, its even harder hitting on a QB from the 2nd on. It's easy to see why teams do it with the desperate need for QBs.

 

[Pop]

Knee concerns most likely

 

[h3ro]

damn, mauldin's story is sad.

Exactly. And until you get a chance at "that guy" you build up your defense and o line

 

[Sviatoslav]

pls Dallas pls Ajayi

He'll probably be available but his knee problems have to be concerning

 

[PhoenixDark]

@cmonarrez 4m4 minutes ago

Mayhew: "I think he has some ability at safety, but he's definitely going to play corner for us when he gets here."

Sounds like this isn't leverage over Ihedigbo.

Hopefully Carter will be ready for prime time in his second season, like Slay was.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Oh hey, Steelers took Mike Wallace.
